FALLS VILLAGE — The snowstorm that hit the area on Saturday, Oct. 29, left the town without power. Heavy, wet snow took down numerous limbs from trees, and people with generators became very popular.
The Falls Village Volunteer Fire Department quickly set up a warming center on the second floor of the firehouse. Monday morning, Hazel McGuire and First Selectman Pat Mechare were among the eight people at the warming center, taking a break before heading back out.

FALLS VILLAGE — The Inland Wetlands and Conservation Commission voted Monday night, Oct. 17, to have Chairman Ellery Sinclair write a letter to the Connecticut Siting Council to request a public hearing on proposed regulation changes regarding cellphone towers.
Sinclair said the change would make it more difficult for nonprofit organizations to take a position on issues such as the recent proposal from New Cingular Wireless (ATT) for a tower on Cobble Hill.

FALLS VILLAGE — Men left adrift in a sea of bewildering haircutting options can go to Shelly’s Hair Salon on Beebe Hill Road and get a regular men’s cut for $12.
Owner Michelle McGuire said inquiries from men were up, and she’s glad to oblige.
Shelly’s has been open for business almost eight years now; in the spring, McGuire took on two new employees — Kristi Spear and Laraine Rega.
For women, Shelly’s is a full-service salon — perms, coloring, and cuts from McGuire and Spear, and manicures, pedicures and acrylic nails from Rega, the nail technician.

FALLS VILLAGE — Emma Okell and Russell Thompson are the winners of the 2011 Superintendent Award for Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
Emma, 17, of Sharon is a musician, and composes what she calls “neoclassical” pieces, a process that is helped considerably by her perfect pitch.
“I was on the bus writing down the melodies I was hearing,” she said. She cited Mozart, Beethoven and Eric Whitacre as major influences.
She admitted cheerfully that she has “no idea what I want to do.” She hopes to find out at either Amherst or Yale.
Not the Berklee College of Music in Boston?

FALLS VILLAGE — Emily Hennessey, recipient of the 2011 Superintendent Award for the Lee H. Kellogg School, reads novels and stories by Ray Bradbury, Stephen King and anything that can be described as “creepy stuff.”
And she admits to the guilty pleasure of “tweeny love stories” — young adult fiction.
“They’re bad but I love them,” she said.
She draws the line at the teen/vampire subgenre, however.
“I read ‘Twilight’ and regretted it,” she said in her pull-no-punches style.

FALLS VILLAGE — Scarecrows were on display downtown on a crisp autmn afternoon Saturday, Oct. 22.

Val Case was regarding her entry, “Steam Bride of Punkin’ Stein,” with a critical eye. “Needs more tubing,” she said, and disappeared.
